Default Absurd instruments

Composers of contemporary music often try to make a 'classical orchestra'
to play their music. This is required by the fact that in choosing the
programme of a concert, organizers try to mix some classical and contemporary
music to attract the public. This creates the absurd situation
in which instruments as violins, flutes, etc. specifically created to play
old classical music, should produce 'sounds' which are not supposed to
emit.
I think that classical music has been already explored and composed. Now is
time to invent something new, not having anything to do with the old style
and rules. Look at the opera : there is no thing as a 'modern opera'.
Great theatres in all the world will go on forever using that group of beautiful
musics composed up to Puccini, and nothing more.
